VISIA™ - What is the definition for each of the three types of skin conditions?

How does VISIA use this information?

"Clean" is defined as skin that has been recently cleansed and without make-up or skin conditioners applied, "Fresh Make-up" is defined as make-up recently applied (roughly within the past hour), "Other" covers all other cases. No change is made in terms of either taking the photo or in the analysis process based upon the skin condition selected. This information is recorded in the patient's record for each session and allows scores to be properly interpreted if images were captured under different conditions session-to-session (i.e., one time image taken with clean skin, the next time with make-up). Also, images that are "clean" can be considered as valid input to further build the database.
